Implements IConstruct, IConstruct, IDependable, IInspectable

A CloudFormation AWS::IAM::AccessKey.

Creates a new AWS secret access key and corresponding AWS access key ID for the specified user. The default status for new keys is Active .

For information about quotas on the number of keys you can create, see IAM and AWS STS quotas in the IAM User Guide .

To ensure the security of your AWS account , the secret access key is accessible only during key and user creation. You must save the key (for example, in a text file) if you want to be able to access it again. If a secret key is lost, you can rotate access keys by increasing the value of the serial property.

Example

// The code below shows an example of how to instantiate this type.
// The values are placeholders you should change.
import * as iam from '@aws-cdk/aws-iam';
const cfnAccessKey = new iam.CfnAccessKey(this, 'MyCfnAccessKey', {
  userName: 'userName',

  // the properties below are optional
  serial: 123,
  status: 'status',
});

Initializer

new CfnAccessKey(scope: Construct, id: string, props: CfnAccessKeyProps)

Parameters

scope Construct — - scope in which this resource is defined.
id string — - scoped id of the resource.
props CfnAccessKeyProps — - resource properties.

Create a new AWS::IAM::AccessKey.

Construct Props

Name	Type	Description
userName	`string`	The name of the IAM user that the new key will belong to.
serial?	`number`	This value is specific to CloudFormation and can only be incremented .
status?	`string`	The status of the access key.

userName

Type: string

The name of the IAM user that the new key will belong to.

This parameter allows (through its regex pattern ) a string of characters consisting of upper and lowercase alphanumeric characters with no spaces. You can also include any of the following characters: _+=,.@-

serial?

Type: number (optional)

This value is specific to CloudFormation and can only be incremented .

Incrementing this value notifies CloudFormation that you want to rotate your access key. When you update your stack, CloudFormation will replace the existing access key with a new key.

status?

Type: string (optional)

The status of the access key.

Active means that the key is valid for API calls, while Inactive means it is not.

Properties

Name	Type	Description
attrSecretAccessKey	`string`	Returns the secret access key for the specified AWS::IAM::AccessKey resource.
cfnOptions	`ICfnResourceOptions`	Options for this resource, such as condition, update policy etc.
cfnProperties	`{ [string]: any }`
cfnResourceType	`string`	AWS resource type.
creationStack	`string[]`
logicalId	`string`	The logical ID for this CloudFormation stack element.
node	`ConstructNode`	The construct tree node associated with this construct.
ref	`string`	Return a string that will be resolved to a CloudFormation `{ Ref }` for this element.
stack	`Stack`	The stack in which this element is defined.
userName	`string`	The name of the IAM user that the new key will belong to.
serial?	`number`	This value is specific to CloudFormation and can only be incremented .
status?	`string`	The status of the access key.
static CFN_RESOURCE_TYPE_NAME	`string`	The CloudFormation resource type name for this resource class.

attrSecretAccessKey

Type: string

Returns the secret access key for the specified AWS::IAM::AccessKey resource.

For example: wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYzEXAMPLEKEY.

cfnOptions

Type: ICfnResourceOptions

Options for this resource, such as condition, update policy etc.

cfnProperties

Type: { [string]: any }

cfnResourceType

Type: string

AWS resource type.

creationStack

Type: string[]

logicalId

Type: string

The logical ID for this CloudFormation stack element.

The logical ID of the element is calculated from the path of the resource node in the construct tree.

To override this value, use overrideLogicalId(newLogicalId).

node

Type: ConstructNode

The construct tree node associated with this construct.

ref

Type: string

Return a string that will be resolved to a CloudFormation { Ref } for this element.

If, by any chance, the intrinsic reference of a resource is not a string, you could coerce it to an IResolvable through Lazy.any({ produce: resource.ref }).

stack

Type: Stack

The stack in which this element is defined.

CfnElements must be defined within a stack scope (directly or indirectly).

userName

Type: string

The name of the IAM user that the new key will belong to.

serial?

Type: number (optional)

This value is specific to CloudFormation and can only be incremented .

Incrementing this value notifies CloudFormation that you want to rotate your access key. When you update your stack, CloudFormation will replace the existing access key with a new key.

status?

Type: string (optional)

The status of the access key.

Active means that the key is valid for API calls, while Inactive means it is not.

static CFN_RESOURCE_TYPE_NAME

Type: string

The CloudFormation resource type name for this resource class.

addDeletionOverride(path)

public addDeletionOverride(path: string): void

Parameters

path string — The path of the value to delete.

Syntactic sugar for addOverride(path, undefined).

addDependsOn(target)

public addDependsOn(target: CfnResource): void

Parameters

target CfnResource

Indicates that this resource depends on another resource and cannot be provisioned unless the other resource has been successfully provisioned.

This can be used for resources across stacks (or nested stack) boundaries and the dependency will automatically be transferred to the relevant scope.

addMetadata(key, value)

public addMetadata(key: string, value: any): void

Parameters

key string
value any

Add a value to the CloudFormation Resource Metadata.

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/metadata-section-structure.html

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.)

addOverride(path, value)

public addOverride(path: string, value: any): void

Parameters

path string — - The path of the property, you can use dot notation to override values in complex types.
value any — - The value.

Adds an override to the synthesized CloudFormation resource.

To add a property override, either use addPropertyOverride or prefix path with "Properties." (i.e. Properties.TopicName).

If the override is nested, separate each nested level using a dot (.) in the path parameter. If there is an array as part of the nesting, specify the index in the path.

To include a literal . in the property name, prefix with a \. In most programming languages you will need to write this as "\\." because the \ itself will need to be escaped.

For example,

cfnResource.addOverride('Properties.GlobalSecondaryIndexes.0.Projection.NonKeyAttributes', ['myattribute']);
cfnResource.addOverride('Properties.GlobalSecondaryIndexes.1.ProjectionType', 'INCLUDE');

would add the overrides

"Properties": {
   "GlobalSecondaryIndexes": [
     {
       "Projection": {
         "NonKeyAttributes": [ "myattribute" ]
         ...
       }
       ...
     },
     {
       "ProjectionType": "INCLUDE"
       ...
     },
   ]
   ...
}

The value argument to addOverride will not be processed or translated in any way. Pass raw JSON values in here with the correct capitalization for CloudFormation. If you pass CDK classes or structs, they will be rendered with lowercased key names, and CloudFormation will reject the template.

addPropertyDeletionOverride(propertyPath)

public addPropertyDeletionOverride(propertyPath: string): void

Parameters

propertyPath string — The path to the property.

Adds an override that deletes the value of a property from the resource definition.

addPropertyOverride(propertyPath, value)

public addPropertyOverride(propertyPath: string, value: any): void

Parameters

propertyPath string — The path of the property.
value any — The value.

Adds an override to a resource property.

Syntactic sugar for addOverride("Properties.<...>", value).

applyRemovalPolicy(policy?, options?)

public applyRemovalPolicy(policy?: RemovalPolicy, options?: RemovalPolicyOptions): void

Parameters

policy RemovalPolicy
options RemovalPolicyOptions

Sets the deletion policy of the resource based on the removal policy specified.

The Removal Policy controls what happens to this resource when it stops being managed by CloudFormation, either because you've removed it from the CDK application or because you've made a change that requires the resource to be replaced.

The resource can be deleted (RemovalPolicy.DESTROY), or left in your AWS account for data recovery and cleanup later (RemovalPolicy.RETAIN).

getAtt(attributeName)

public getAtt(attributeName: string): Reference

Parameters

attributeName string — The name of the attribute.

Returns

Reference

Returns a token for an runtime attribute of this resource.

Ideally, use generated attribute accessors (e.g. resource.arn), but this can be used for future compatibility in case there is no generated attribute.

getMetadata(key)

public getMetadata(key: string): any

Parameters

key string

Returns

any

Retrieve a value value from the CloudFormation Resource Metadata.

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.)

inspect(inspector)

public inspect(inspector: TreeInspector): void

Parameters

inspector TreeInspector — - tree inspector to collect and process attributes.

Examines the CloudFormation resource and discloses attributes.

overrideLogicalId(newLogicalId)

public overrideLogicalId(newLogicalId: string): void

Parameters

newLogicalId string — The new logical ID to use for this stack element.

Overrides the auto-generated logical ID with a specific ID.

toString()

public toString(): string

Returns

string

Returns a string representation of this construct.

protected renderProperties(props)

protected renderProperties(props: { [string]: any }): { [string]: any }

Parameters

props { [string]: any }

Returns

{ [string]: any }
